No Country is Safe … Are You Ready for the World of Death?

Say what you will about the VHS films and THE ABCs OF DEATH. For better or worse they helped to revive the horror anthology format. When done right, the horror anthology is a beautiful thing (think the original CEEPSHOW). When done poorly, the horror anthology is just about as painful as having a parasite swim up your pee hole (think DEATH BY VHS, NIGHTMARE ALLEY, V/H/S … the list goes on). Now we’re getting another anthology coming our way and this one, not unlike THE ABCs OF DEATH, has an international flavor to it.

The anthology is WORLD OF DEATH and it boasts a collection of over 200 filmmakers from 25 countries into one project. Check out the press release:

I mentioned this to my spouse, to wit he replied: the world has truly embraced the ‘short attention span theater’. Do you think the rise of these multiple short film collections has to do with making films for ‘the handheld device’ audience?

I think that’s part of it, Gynocrat. I also think it’s the risk factor. If you have 4-5 stories chances are you’ll have at least 2 solid ones. This way people will walk away “liking” the entire anthology based on 2-3 solid stories.
